Monster Hunter from League of Legends

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Because I am a Freljordian."

Fain shrugged, turned around and walked towards Xiaona's house amid everyone's stunned expressions.

Many people may not know her if you call her Shawna, but you should know her if you hear her full name - Shawna Wayne.

Shawna Vayne, the Night Hunter. One of the earliest heroes in League of Legends, a mid-to-late game champion with terrifying damage, possessing invisibility, dash, true damage, interruption, and hard crowd control, she's long been considered one of the most difficult heroes to handle in the late game. However, due to her lack of AOE and short reach, she's a bit of a deadbeat in the laning phase, requiring extremely high skill levels. This has led to her immense popularity but a pitifully low play rate.

And in Runeterra, Shawna Vayne is a complete psychopath.

But like most Demacia heroes, Shauna Vine, who later became heavy and dark, actually had a rather light and bright childhood.

As the only daughter of a wealthy family in Demacia, Shauna was born into a life of luxury.

In her childhood, under the protection of her parents, Shawna explored her own little world - reading, studying, music, and collecting various insects in the manor.

Xiaona's parents were also very open-minded. When they were young, they traveled all over Runeterra and saw countless customs and cultures. But after Xiaona was born, they chose to settle in Demacia.

Because compared to other places, the people of Demacia are more united by nature, know how to share weal and woe, are more peaceful, and can allow children to grow up healthily.

If the story continues like this, Xiaona will undoubtedly become an ordinary Demacia rich girl, and will not be able to become a future Night Hunter psychopath.

It wasn't until she was sixteen that Shawna's life changed.

After attending a Midsummer Eve party, Shawna returned home and saw a scene that she would never forget.

A stunning woman with horns on her head stood next to the bloody corpses of her parents.

Xiaona, still just a young girl, panicked and screamed loudly. The murderer even looked at the young Xiaona seriously before leaving, with a hideous smile full of terror and desire on his face.

Since then, the originally light-hearted and bright Shauna disappeared, replaced by Wayne, a night hunter who longed for revenge and eventually turned into a psychopath under extreme emotions.

Chapter 4: Shauna and Frey.

Xiaona's house, the girl's bedroom.

As a well-known wealthy family in the area, Xiaona had a wonderful childhood. But with what happened recently, everything has changed.

Listening to the morning bell, the graceful girl climbed out of the black hard bed.

In fact, it wasn't just the hard bed; the entire room had been decorated by Xiaona in a simple, dull, and dark atmosphere. It was hard to imagine it as the room of an eighteen-year-old girl—there was no vitality, not a single moment of tenderness. Beyond the pitch black, the entire room was a dull, pale white. Rather than a bedroom, it felt more like a mourning hall without the hanging of a memorial.

Once upon a time, this place was filled with warm-toned decorations, velvet cushions, ivory beds, dreamy ornaments, expensive dolls, and flowers that were changed regularly every two days.

But after that nightmare day, every time the girl woke from a difficult sleep, she felt a strong sense of guilt. This suffocating feeling made Xiaona fear the beauty that the naked eye could see. The once sweet honey water that entered her throat now felt a searing pain.

Is it cursed by that black magic monster? Yes, it must be cursed by that evil black magic.

Slowly, Xiaona reduced the decorations in her bedroom and her entire house until it became what it is now. Xiaona finally no longer felt pain because of the beauty she saw with her naked eyes. But even so, every time she woke up from her sleep, she was often not greeted by the first rays of sunshine in the morning, but by the pain of memories that she could feel even before she opened her eyes.

Ultimately, it was during her journey to the Freljord in search of a mentor that Shauna found a way to escape her pain.

Her delicate body awoke from the hard bed, the stiffness and aches throughout her body undoubtedly causing her discomfort. However, compared to the mental strain, this superficial pain instead gave Xiaona a glimmer of happiness... No, rather than happiness, it felt more like a sense of redemption. Like those self-flagellated zealots who constantly abuse themselves to prove their unwavering faith, Xiaona had found a way to escape the pain.

After turning off the alarm clock and remaking the hard plank bed, Xiaona changed into loose clothes, tied her hair up, and walked towards the backyard.

Looking at Xiaona approaching, Frey's eyes were full of complexity.

When Shauna's parents were killed by demons, she was haunted by horrific nightmares for a long time. But no one believed anything she said, believing it was just the lonely ravings of a desperate child. Thanks to Demacia's favorable social environment, Shauna's family was not wiped out. To this end, Shauna repeatedly tried to hire demon hunters with money to hunt down the abominable demon.

Without exception, everyone who heard Shauna's words would stay away from her, believing her to be insane and unable to communicate. Desperate, Shauna knew that Demacia's high walls could not stop the demons from infiltrating. With no one believing her, she decided to find a way to hunt the demons herself.

Her parents had told her stories of the Iceborn warriors who fought against the Frost Witch in the north. Legend had it that the people there had defended their homeland for generations, resisting the Frost Witch's unknown power and the invasion of dark soldiers. So Shauna left her guardians and boarded a ship bound for the Freljord.

The journey wasn't smooth sailing; even Shauna's encounter with Frey was full of drama.

While crossing an icy canyon, Shawna fell into an elaborate ice trap and fell into a jagged, intricately carved ice pit. She looked up and saw a frost troll, smacking its lips and looking at her greedily.

But just as Shauna thought she was about to be devoured by the troll, a spear whistled in and pierced the troll's skull. Then, the troll's massive body collapsed into a trap. Shauna rolled aside in time and escaped. The person who saved Shauna's life was her current teacher, Frey.

Frey bandaged Wayne's wound and took her to the campfire to warm herself. In the cold canyon, Frey told Shauna that she had spent her life fighting the Frost Witch's minions because they had killed her children.

So Shauna asked Frey to take her in as her apprentice, but Frey was not interested.

Unable to accept Frey's denial, Shawna challenges Frey to a duel. If she wins, Frey will become her teacher; if she loses, she will be bait to lure out the Frost Witch's minions, allowing Frey to capture them all and avenge her.

In fact, both Shawna and Frey knew that Shawna had no chance of winning.

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Xiaona had only received a single afternoon of sword training before this, and she had given up because she was tired of the fighting style that required one hand behind her back. But even so, Xiaona was still unwilling to give up any hope she could see.

Seeing Shauna's determination, Frey threw a ball of snow in Shauna's eyes, and this was the first rule she taught her about hunting demons: don't think about a fair fight.

Shawna immediately launched an attack. Sloppily, chaotically, crudely, crudely… any child from the Freljord could defeat Shawna multiple times in a single breath. But even in this austere environment, no matter how many times Shawna was knocked down, she would rise again with determination. Even with bruises covering her body, this pampered young lady would grit her teeth and stand up, attacking without hesitation once more, charging towards that unattainable hope.

But in this unattainable hope, Frey also saw the same enduring hatred in Shauna's eyes as her own.

Finally, Frey agreed to become Shauna's teacher, and Shauna helped Frey forge her identity and enter Demacia.

Counting the time, it has been a year since Frey came to Demacia.

After spending so much time together, Frey more or less learned about Shawna's past. As a shaman, Frey was well aware that Shawna had developed serious mental problems. As a teacher, Frey explained some of the issues Shawna was facing. Sadly, Shawna didn't believe they were her own faults, instead blaming all her faults and suffering on so-called black magic.

Thinking about it, Frey asked softly, "Are you feeling better? Xiaona, how did you sleep today?"

"Slept well."

Hearing Frey's question, Xiaona also showed a seemingly bright smile on her face.

There was a time when Frey would feel relaxed when she saw Shawna smile, but after spending time with her, Frey realized that Shawna's perception of happiness was different from that of ordinary people.

Just as Frey had expected, Shawna's smile froze. After a moment, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

"……fine."

Xiaona's mouth twitched, but then she said a little anxiously: "But...but I feel like I'm getting used to it. I think I should put some stones on the bed."

"..."

Frey sighed helplessly, but did not express much opinion on this.

Xiaona had fallen into the abyss for too long. Seeing the helplessness on Frey's face, Xiaona's face froze for a moment, and then revealed a touch of human helplessness.

"I'm not hurting myself, but... sharpening myself. Sharpening myself, just like those ascetics."

Xiaona defended herself, "You said that too, didn't you? Those beast walkers would relieve the mental pressure exerted by beast spirits by burying themselves in ice and snow or jumping into frozen lakes. I do the same."

"Beast Spirit Walkers feel pain because the spirits of wild beasts erode their minds. And why do you feel pain?"

Frey questioned.

When she heard Frey's question, a hint of pain appeared in Shauna's eyes, but the pain soon disappeared and turned into a hint of paranoia.

But just when Xiaona was about to say something, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Someone is here, I'll open the door."

Xiaona ran away as if escaping.

Chapter 5 Visit.

Xiaona fled from the backyard, not knowing what thoughts were filling her mind.

After her parents died, she spent a year trying to find someone to avenge them. But even after using all her assets to hire demon hunters and tell demon hunters, no one believed her. Finally, she decided to find the power of revenge herself.

So she found Frey, and in the past year, although Shawna never said anything and Frey never said anything, Shawna knew very well that she no longer just regarded Frey as her teacher... Just like Frey, whose child was killed by the Frost Witch's dark warrior, Frey no longer just regarded Shawna as his child.

It was also because of this that Frey's concern made Shawna feel a little unsure how to respond.

Xiaona came to the door with a heavy heart and sighed quietly. She knew she was running away, but... there was no other way.

After opening the bolt, Xiaona peeked out through the hole in the door. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a fully armed burly man in her sight, occupying her entire field of vision.

Xiaona was stunned, and outside the door, noticing the open peephole, Fain took two steps back and then said, "Is this Xiaona's home?"

Although I already know that this is Xiaona's home, it is better to ask when we meet for the first time.

Seeing Faan's full appearance, Xiaona was also stunned. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Thanks to the Demacia aesthetic that favors tough guys, Faan, clad in armor, at least in terms of appearance, is still very popular in Demacia.

After all, putting aside his facial appearance, just the fact that he could walk freely in this suit of armor and sword without blushing or panting shows that he must be quite capable.

"Yes."

"Are you Shawna?"

Faan asked curiously. As far as he knew, apart from the guardian who came every week to check on Xiaona's living and mental state, there was almost no one else living in the house.

"……Yes."

Shawna replied after a moment's silence.

"You have beautiful eyes, though they are filled with gray."

Fine sighed: "But it's much better than wearing red triangle glasses."

Vayne's looks are undeniably impressive, as evidenced by her numerous skins, including the Light Sentinel skin from the main storyline. But what's the solution? In the splash art, she's wearing those B-shaped goggles, like a superhero. I wonder what her quirk is.

After hearing Fain's slightly sad sigh, Xiaona was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm not planning to get married."

As she spoke, Xiaona prepared to close the peephole.

It's no wonder Xiaona said that. As a well-known wealthy woman, Xiaona, who frequented high-class banquets for years, was also sought after by many wealthy young men. And after her parents' tragedy, the number of such young men not only didn't decrease, but actually increased. However, in addition to these young men, there were also some wandering knights who had heard about the incident from somewhere, or witchers who dreamed of achieving success overnight.

In the past, Shawna might have easily believed their lies - but she wouldn't have had to worry too much because her parents would have protected her.

But after experiencing all this, Xiaona is completely different from the past. She knows very well that those high-sounding words about defending her, protecting her, or avenging her, and going to hunt demons with her... are all lies. They are just plotting to take away the inheritance left by their parents.

In the past, Xiaona would have been happy to chat with such a handsome knight and listen to his adventure stories. But now, Xiaona only felt bored and disgusted.

But just as Shawna was about to close the peephole, Fane stuffed his finger into Shawna's slit.

Looking at the peephole stuck by her fingers, Xiaona's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but she did not let go obediently and continue to listen to Fan's words. Instead, she closed the peephole with greater force and pinched the ungrateful guy hard.

If it were in the past, the cheerful and bright Xiaona would never be like this. But for Xiaona, who already has a heavy and dark past...

But to Xiaona's surprise, the stranger had only one finger inserted into the crack of her door, yet it didn't budge at all despite her exertion. It was as if it were made of iron. A hint of disgust crossed Xiaona's eyes, and she closed it tightly. Then, Fane pushed the peephole open.

"I'm here to see Frey."

Just as Xiaona was about to scold her, Faan said calmly: "I know she is here, your teacher, the Freljord Frostwolf Shaman."

"……Who are you?"

After hearing Faan call out Frey's name and identity, Xiaona's eyes flickered with hesitation. At the same time, she keenly noticed something that puzzled her—Frostwolf Shaman? What did that mean? Wasn't the teacher a shaman?

"You may call me Faan, Supreme Warmaster of the Freljord, sole blood ally of the Ice Sisters, Lord of the Icefields, chosen by the Three Gods..."

Fain babble a lot under Xiaona's blank gaze, and finally said: "You may not understand what I said before? It doesn't matter, you can also call me the husband of the Frost Witch."

After hearing Fane's last words, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in Xiaona's eyes - she clearly remembered Frey telling her that the reason Frey kept hunting dark creatures and studying evil magic was to take revenge on the Frost Witch who killed all her family members and children!

Thinking of this, Xiaona let go of the peephole and, with a look of fear, lowered the other two crossbeams on the gate. Just like the city gate, the gate used to have only one crossbeam as a bolt to reinforce it. But after what happened that night, Xiaona added two more crossbeams.

When the crossbar fell, Xiaona turned around and ran without hesitation, wanting to remind Frey to be prepared.

But the next moment, after hearing the sound of two horizontal bars falling behind the door and Xiaona turning and running, Fane reached out through the peephole and tore the iron door open. With a little force, he ripped the door apart and threw it to the open space beside him with a loud noise.

"Why are you running? Are you trying to tip off someone?"

Although he said this, Fane ignored Shauna and strode towards the backyard because Frey was there.

-

After careful consideration, I feel like the previous end-of-volume summary is a bit flawed. While the Demacia arc is about moving the heart first and then the body, this book's moving heart isn't just your typical moving heart. It's the "So you're a M? I'm going to give you a good fuck!" kind of moving heart.

Chapter 6 Overwhelming Force.

Looking at Fane striding towards her, a hint of panic flashed in Xiaona's eyes.

"Stop! This is my home! Stop right there! Otherwise I'll have the Demacia soldiers arrest you!"

Although she was frightened, Xiaona was no fool. The sight of Fain ripping the peephole open with a single finger and then tearing through the entire iron door was still deeply imprinted in Xiaona's mind. Therefore, Xiaona knew that for her, the man before her was nearly invincible...

She had only studied with Frey for a year, and despite her strong will and rapid progress, Frey still considered her to be at the bottom of the Freljord's class. In this situation, Faan, also from the Freljord, was so powerful that his face was practically written all over his face. Shauna could only use the might of the Demacia army to coerce Faan.
